Summary
Earthworm Jim 2 first appeared on the Sega Genesis and hit the SuperâŻNES almost at the same time, essentially the same game with a few SNESâonly twists. The console version swaps in alternate background art and lets you toggle between weapons on the fly, a small but satisfying tweak for fans of Jimâs arsenal. Gameplay expands far beyond the originalâs runâandâgun roots: you still blast through classic stages like âAnything but Tangerines,â but now you can pick up an autoâaiming gun or the screenâclearing âBarn Blaster,â and a chipâbutty powerâup can boost Jimâs suit to 200âŻ% durability. Snott joins the adventure as a handy sidekick, clinging to surfaces for swingâhanging or acting as a parachute when you jump. The level design gets wildly inventive â guide a blind salamander through intestines in âVilli People,â answer absurd trivia questions, float as an inflated head dodging spikes, or pilot a pocketârocket in an isometric shooter against Major Mucus. The final showdown is a frantic race against PsyâCrow to rescue Princess WhatâsâHerâName. The SNES edition resurfaced on Nintendo Classics in MarchâŻ2022, and the game still earns nods from retro critics, even landing at #40 on IGNâs TopâŻ100 SNES Games.
Storyline
In Earthworm Jim 2 you make your way through each stage with a single goal: rescue Princess What'sâHerâName from the villainous PsyâCrow. The platforming adventure leads Jim across a variety of quirky environments until the final showdown. After defeating PsyâCrow, Jim finally saves the Princess. In a bizarre twist, the three heroes are revealed to be cows in disguise. The game ends on this surreal note.
